Id love to have William Faulkner, Beethoven and Bach over. I want to find out what makes those guys tick!

I'm a vegetarian who doesn't like eggplant parmesan. Isn't that awful? I'm also sick of portobello mushrooms. People are like,"A vegetarian's coming to dinner," so they serve those.

I think in losing we find out who that person really is.

Don't plan too hard, because something much better might be out there.

I was born in the Midwest, where "salad" was cherry Jell-O with bananas in it. Now children are more aware of healthy foods.

As someone who is in awe and grateful every day to be in a country where freedom of the press, free speech and free elections are a way of life, I am wowed, amazed and excited by the opportunity to moderate a 2012 presidential debate.

Have I ever made a mistake? I am sure. Do I think I can stand on my record? I do.
